Bacon & Cheddar Croissant Bites

As much as I hate to admit it, Marley is getting older. I'm trying to embrace it and let her help me more; cleaning up, setting the table for dinner, and cooking with Mommy. She is always so excited when I let her help like a 'Big Girl'. I hope I can show her how much fun cooking is and maybe one day she'll love it as much as I do.
This morning, we made up our own breakfast croissant concoction together. The great thing about buying the crescent dough is that you can put just about anything in it and it will be good! Other croissant bites I've made before: PB & J, mozzarella stick & pepperonis, roast beef & provolone cheese, party size pigs in a blanket, and ham & cheddar.

Pancake Breakfast for Dinner

Today is National Pancake Day (2/28/12)... Some of you may have gone to IHOP to indulge in their free pancake give away, but I wanted to make some special pancakes for Marley.

I usually just grab a box of the pre-made mix from the store... if you want quick, you can totally dress up these mixes. 

But it being National Pancake Day and all, I wanted to try out a homemade pancake mix. I found many mixes online, the one I used tonight was from allrecipes.com and I just added vanilla extract to the recipe.)
